+Subject: [PATCH] column: fix compilation when libc lacks wide-character
+ support
+
+Commit 4762ae9d removed mtsafe_strtok() but left behind calls to wcstok
+and wcspbrk. This leads to build failures when libc does not have the
+wide-character functions, like some uClibc builds.
+
+Solve the problem by using strtok_r and strpbrk when HAVE_WIDECHAR is
+not defined.
+
+Fixes:
